Once you see it... - Witch Head Nebula

...you can't unsee it.

This image is a cropped rotation of the original Witch Head Nebula that I posted two weeks ago. The original image composition imcluded a rotation meant to provide the most pleasing image that I could render from the data. The reason that the nebula is called The Witch Head is not immediately apparent. The composition of this image is rotated to reveal why this object is named The Witch Head Nebula.

See the original image for equipment, software, capture and processing details.
